• Original Plan For Alexa Bliss On This Week’s RAW Cancelled
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE officials were still writing the script of RAW while the show was airing and this led to many changes.
WWE officials originally planned RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Alexa Bliss for this week’s RAW and this was supposed to be a squash match (similar to Rousey’s Elimination Chamber 2019 match).
However, with multiple changes being made to the script, the decision was made to give Ronda a longer match and they felt Rousey vs. Bliss in a long match wouldn’t be good, so they decided to give Ruby Riott a longer match against Rousey this time.
